Subject: Multiple notions for what's a day
Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2012 11:25:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <80pq1qleb8.fsf@somewhere.org> (raw)
Hello,
For 6 weeks now, since the commit a00a7b2 of Toby, things have changed when
generating clock tables. For example, instead of getting this (for some sample
files I have):
| File | Headline | Time |
|-------+----------------+-------|
| | ALL Total time | 30:19 |
|-------+----------------+-------|
| A.org | File time | 2:59 |
|-------+----------------+-------|
| B.org | File time | 2:30 |
|-------+----------------+-------|
| C.org | File time | 24:50 |
(edited for the sake of simplicity)
we do have, as of today:
| File | Headline | Time |
|-------+----------------+---------|
| | ALL Total time | 1d 6:19 |
|-------+----------------+---------|
| A.org | File time | 2:59 |
|-------+----------------+---------|
| B.org | File time | 2:30 |
|-------+----------------+---------|
| C.org | File time | 1d 0:50 |
That is, the presentation *default* has changed: it now displays big amounts
of hours in days (of 24 hours).
I don't welcome the change of the default as such -- as that could impact
computations made on those figures; OK, that's not such a big deal --, but I
clearly like the ability to generate such formats, much more readable.
However, there is now a problem of interpretation for the value of "days";
until now, a day was valued as "8 hours"... see `org-effort-durations':
╭────
│ Its value is (("h" . 60)
│ ("d" . 480) --> 8 hours a day
│ ("w" . 2400) --> 40 hours a week
│ ("m" . 9600)
│ ("y" . 96000))
╰────
In the current situation, you'd express days of 8 hours for the Effort
property, but be presented with days of 24 hours for clocking display. Weird,
no?
I guess that the clock tables should use the values defined in
`org-effort-durations' for their display. Or, at least, any other solution
where a day has the same value when used for clock estimates and for clock
reports...
Just wanted to show a problem, and start a discussion on what should be
done...
Best regards,
Seb
